  • Patent number: 10837704
    Abstract: A method for repairing a refractory lining of a metallurgical vessel in the hot state. This repair takes place using a supplying apparatus. In addition, recording of at least the worn regions and monitoring of the repair are carried out by a monitoring device. Before, during and/or after the supplying of material, at least a partial region of the areas of the refractory lining of the vessel or the gunning jet is recorded photographically with visualization of the temperature ranges. This results in an evaluation with regard to different parameters such as properties, layer thickness and/or distribution of the supplied material. It has been demonstrated that visualization of the temperature ranges of the areas to be repaired and of the refractory material during supplying of material enables different parameters to be established very accurately, and as a result, optimal coating of the wall lining can be achieved.

  • Publication number: 20180209739
    Abstract: A method relates in particular to the repair of a refractory lining of a metallurgical vessel (10) in the hot state. This repair takes place here by means of an supplying apparatus (15). In addition, recording of at least the worn regions and monitoring of the repair are carried out by means of a device (20). Before, during and/or after the supplying of at least a partial region of the areas (13) of the refractory lining (12) of the vessel (10) to be repaired or the gunning jet (18) is recorded photographically here with visualisation of the temperature ranges (26, 27, 28), and this results in an evaluation with regard to different parameters such as properties, layer thickness and/or distribution of the supplied material. It has been demonstrated that by means of this visualisation of the temperature ranges of the areas to be repaired and of the refractory material during supplying different parameters can be established very accurately, and as a result optimal coating of the wall lining can be achieved.

  • Publication number: 20160376672
    Abstract: The invention relates to a mixture comprising magnesium, carbon and aluminium to be introduced into the slag located on a metal melt in iron and steel metallurgy, to the use of such a mixture and also to a process for conditioning a slag located on a metal melt in a metallurgical vessel, for example, in a converter, in an electric arc furnace or in a ladle, in iron and steel metallurgy.
